Inviting UMD Participants to a Regional DH Symposium, March 9, 2018

Interested in meeting and talking with other scholars in digital studies in the arts and humanities? Join us for a working meeting on regional DHcollaborations hosted by the Scholars’ Lab at the University of Virginia, March 9th.

The symposium aims to gather a diverse group of voices who are working in these areas to foster dialogue and connections. Sessions will focus on: supporting digital work by students, pedagogy, social justice, and facilitating regional collaboration. Conversations between small groups from four institutions (MITH, Scholars’ Lab, Washington & Lee, and the University of Richmond) suggested a shared desire for greater collaboration and exchange. The aspiration for this meeting is to get people together to share strategies, concerns, as well as seed ideas for future collaborations with the ultimate goal of fostering a larger network of collaborators across the Virginia, D.C., Maryland region.

Please contact Purdom Lindblad (mith@umd.edu) with any questions. If you are interested in participating or in sharing your work on issues of social justice or pedagogy (or both!), please fill out the form at https://goo.gl/forms/riXessSSyuk9192m2

A limited number of bursaries up to $75 may be available to support travel. Apply for funding or to present by March 1, 2018. We will continue taking expressions of interest in attending until 11 PM Wednesday, March 7, 2018.
